This application is a National Stage of International Application No. PCT/CN2021/099507 filed on Jun. 10, 2021, which claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 202010605395.3, filed on Jun. 29, 2020, both of which are hereby incorporated by reference in their entireties.
TECHNICAL FIELDThis application relates to the field of computer technologies, and in particular, to a screen capturing method and a related device.
BACKGROUNDWith the popularization of intelligent electronic products, electronic information has become the main form of daily information exchange. A screen capturing technology has become one of the indispensable technologies in the process of information saving and information sharing because the screen capturing technology can conveniently obtain electronic information such as texts and pictures.
In the conventional technology, screen capturing is mainly for an entire screen, for example, full screen capturing or scrolling screen capturing. To obtain a screenshot picture corresponding to a split screen included in the screen, in an existing implementation, a screenshot picture is first obtained through a screen capturing operation, where the screenshot picture includes an interface of an application corresponding to each split screen in a screen split state. Further, the screenshot picture of the application corresponding to each split screen may be obtained by cropping the screenshot picture.
It can be learned that each split screen displays an application separately. Compared with the entire screen, because a region of each split screen for displaying the application is small, an amount of content displayed by each split screen in the screen split state is usually small, and it is difficult to meet a requirement of a user for obtaining information from the screenshot picture. Therefore, in the screen split state, how to improve an image effect of an application corresponding to a split screen obtained through capturing has become a technical issue to be urgently addressed at present.
SUMMARYEmbodiments of this application provide a screen capturing method and an electronic device. In a screen split state, the electronic device may display, in full screen, an interface of an application corresponding to a to-be-captured split screen, to obtain a full-displayed interface of the application corresponding to the target split screen, and further obtain a screenshot picture after saving and processing, so that an image effect of the screenshot picture obtained in the screen split state can be improved.

It should be further understood that, the term “and/or” used in embodiments of this application refers to and includes any or all possible combinations of one or more listed items.
It should be understood that, a screen split state in embodiments of this application means that one screen may display a plurality of split screens, and each split screen may be used to display an interface of one application. In embodiments of this application, N split screens are included, where N may be 2, 4, 3, or the like.
However, in the screen split state, compared with the entire electronic device 100 displaying an application in full screen, when one split screen displays an interface of one application, only partial content in a full screen state is usually displayed. Therefore, in the screen split state, in the existing screen capturing technology, an amount of display content of a screenshot picture obtained for one split screen is usually small, and it is difficult to meet a requirement of a user for obtaining information from the screenshot picture.
Therefore, an embodiment of this application provides a screen capturing method, to improve quality of a screenshot picture generated in a screen split state.
The following describes a user interface provided in this embodiment of this application.
It should be understood that screen split forms displayed in the screen split state may include two categories. In a first category, border lines between split screens do not form an intersection point (the border lines are parallel to each other). As shown in
In a possible implementation, if the border lines that distinguish split screens intersect to form at least one intersection point, division of the border lines may be further related to the formed intersection point. As shown in
In the screen split state, the electronic device 100 may receive an input screen capturing operation, and further obtain a corresponding screenshot picture based on the screen capturing operation. The screen capturing operation may be a touch operation in forms such as double tap, triple tap, and knock (e.g., single knock or two successive knocks) or another gesture operation performed by a user on the screen, or an input operation performed by using an input device on the screen, for example, a tap operation of a cursor controlled by a mouse on a screen of a computer, or a tap operation of a stylus on a screen of a tablet computer or a mobile phone.

In this case, the screenshot picture includes an interface of an application displayed by each split screen in the target split screen in the screen split state. Specifically,
With reference to the foregoing description, the electronic device 100 may further respond to a drag operation acting on the thumbnail 43 corresponding to the screenshot picture, and when the drag operation disappears, the electronic device 100 performs a corresponding operation on the thumbnail 43 and the screenshot picture corresponding to the thumbnail 43. For example, when the drag operation disappears, the electronic device 100 detects that the application corresponding to the split screen in which the thumbnail 43 is located is a chat window. In this case, the electronic device 100 may automatically send, in the chat window, the screenshot picture 44 corresponding to the thumbnail 43.
In a possible implementation, the electronic device 100 may further include three split screens.
In addition, for a specific implementation in which the electronic device 100 performs the screen capturing operation on the target split screen to obtain the screenshot picture after obtaining the target split screen, refer to the foregoing specific description in
In a possible implementation, the border lines that distinguish split screens form at least one intersection point, as shown in

In this case, the electronic device 100 determines that a split screen adjacent to the target intersection point is the target split screen.
Specifically,
Further, after obtaining the target split screen, the electronic device sequentially displays, in full screen, the interface of the application corresponding to each split screen included in the target split screen. As shown in
Further, the electronic device 100 splices the user interface 81, the user interface 82, and the user interface 83 to obtain the screenshot picture, and generates a thumbnail 84 of the screenshot picture. As shown in
